Looks like Danny Libeskind gets the last laugh...
Libeskind's site plan was never in doubt. Everything is pretty much where his plan called for. There have only been minor changes, such as the location of the Freedom Tower, the size of the "wedge of light", etc. He was never supposed to touch the memorial, so that was irrelevant. But it is the Libeskind site plan that's being built out, regardless if he actually got to design any of the buildings there. That was never his job.
